The Tea Party is much-maligned by both Democrats and establishment Republicans. We are derided as some fringe group, a minority opinion awash in a sea of otherwise “reasonable” politicians who relentlessly crusade for more of the same policies that have been routinely failing America for decades.
Our brand is slandered by the left who calls the Tea Party “anarchists,” “terrorists” or “bullies.” But slander is not merely the exclusive domain of the left; even the moderate Republicans have joined in. Anyone remember “wacko birds”?
A new poll has emerged, however, to shine light on who are really extremists. Though Democrats posture as champions of civility and bipartisan politics, with one Democratic failure cascading onto another, Americans can witness the fanatical allegiance Democrats possess when defending even the most plainly-obvious political trainwreck.
For further clarification, see Obamacare…
According to a recent poll conducted by Investor’s Business Daily and TIPP, the polling unit of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, Democrats are out-of-touch extremists that seem to maintain a dogmatic allegiance to failed policies and leaders.
Investor’s Business Daily noted,
To get a sense of just how out to lunch Democrats are these days, consider:
The economy is barely moving after four years of Obama’s “recovery,” there are millions who’ve given up looking for work, household incomes are down and poverty is up.
Not surprisingly, 64% of the public says the country is headed in the wrong direction — 71% of independents say this. But those who identify themselves as Democrats are positively upbeat. Two-thirds, in fact, are perfectly satisfied with the country’s direction.
Nor are Democrats willing to entertain any doubts about Obama. Overall, his approval rating is just 40% — just 31% of independents give him a thumbs-up. But a ridiculously high 80% of Democrats like the job Obama’s doing.
And while only 42% of independents, and just 15% of Republicans, think Obama is honest and trustworthy — a perfectly reasonable result given his blatant lies about ObamaCare — 93% of Democrats still believe in him.
Even on the obviously botched ObamaCare launch, just 27% of Democrats are willing to say he bungled it, in contrast with 97% of Republicans and 70% of independents.
It’s worth noting, too, that on question after question, Republicans and independents are more closely aligned than independents and Democrats. You can see that clearly in the charts above.
It’s true that some of these responses simply show Democrats rallying around their guy in the White House. But the fact is that Republicans were more willing to admit to George W. Bush’s faults as a leader when they emerged, and own up to a bad economy during his tenure.
On specific issues, meanwhile, it’s Democrats who are out of the mainstream these days. For example, 61% of the public wants a smaller government with fewer services — among independents, 68% want this — but 59% of Democrats want a bigger government and more services.
And while 57% of independents and 88% of Republicans want to repeal ObamaCare, only 13% of Democrats want it killed.
Outside the Democratic Party, in fact, there’s almost no support for a government takeover of the health care system.
Only 28% of independents and 8% of Republicans say the government can be trusted to run the health care system successfully. Nearly two-thirds of Democrats (64%) put their trust in the government.
The true silver lining of Obamacare is that it can provide a litmus test for discovering who amongst the left are still willing to operate according to logic and who are purely and mindlessly following Democrat doctrine.
It’s undeniable that Obamacare is, at the very least, producing some severe consequences for America and the legality and practicality of the healthcare overhaul remains very much in question. However, the complete failure of the rollout has been nothing short of a disaster and such a fact is undeniable. Democrats defending the rollout can firmly be identified as delusional and/or Democratic zealots.
